Property question 3 for Water-System What’s included: Key details
Irrigation in Charlotte has to do two jobs at once. It has to deliver enough water through the July and August heat. And it has to back off during our wet spring and fall, when overwatering does more harm than good. A system that gets that balance wrong wastes money, drowns roots, and invites the fungal problems that plague Charlotte lawns. We build systems that get it right.
We install, repair, and service irrigation across Charlotte and the surrounding suburbs — Matthews, Huntersville, Concord, Cornelius, Mooresville, Mint Hill, Monroe, Pineville, Indian Trail, Gastonia, and Waxhaw. Every install is matched to the site: sun, slope, soil, plant type, and your Charlotte Water budget.
Irrigation Installation
A new install starts with a site survey and a pressure test. Charlotte water pressure varies by neighborhood. Urban zones often run 60 to 80 psi. Outlying Union County wells can drop to 35 to 45 psi. Pressure drives zone sizing, head choice, and the controller program. We test before we design, not after.
We match each component to the job. Rotor heads cover open turf. MP Rotator heads handle slopes and mixed sun-shade zones. Pop-up sprays fit narrow turf strips. Drip lines water beds at the root. Rain Bird, Hunter, and Toro are our standard brands — reliable, easy to get parts for, and backed by solid warranties.
Controllers are Wi-Fi smart controllers by default. They cut water use by 25 to 40 percent versus fixed-schedule units, because they pull local weather and adjust run times on their own. That matters in Charlotte, where rain is hard to predict. We can get 3 inches in an afternoon, then go four weeks dry in August. A smart controller handles both.
Property question 6 for Water-System What’s included: Timing Choices
Spring startup runs in March and April. We test every zone for coverage, rotation, alignment, and leaks. Winter freeze-thaw cycles break PVC lines and shift heads, so we catch and fix that damage early. Then we reset run times for the season ahead.
Fall blowout runs in November. We drain the system and clear every line with compressed air before the first hard freeze. Charlotte freezes reliably each winter. Skip the blowout and you risk cracked backflow preventers and burst lines by spring. Blowout runs $75 to $150, based on zone count. It’s the most important service on a Charlotte system.
Most repair calls fall into a few buckets. Broken heads from mowers or freeze. Stuck valves from debris or bad wiring. Low pressure on one zone from a line break or clogged filter. Or a controller program that drifted off schedule.
We diagnose with pressure gauges, valve locators, and line tracers — not guesswork. Repair pricing is flat per part for standard fixes and hourly for complex work. You get a quote before any work beyond basic diagnostics.
Property question 7 for Water-System What’s included: Water-System Observations
Charlotte Water encourages efficient outdoor water use, though it does not require restrictions under normal conditions. We calibrate to best practice. Water early, between 4 a.m. and 10 a.m., to beat evaporation. Skip watering during rain. And run deeper, less-frequent cycles instead of short daily ones.
Our smart controllers also use weather-based scheduling. The controller trims run times on cool, cloudy weeks. Over a season, that saves a real amount of water.
Property question 1 for Water-System What’s included: Key details
Irrigation ties into everything else. New landscape designs almost always need drip changes. Hardscape installs need lines re-routed around new features. Lawn mowing crews flag any irrigation issue they spot. And our leaf removal crews watch for head damage under debris. When one company handles it all, nothing slips.
